107: Chapter 107 Dongfang Bai's Breakthrough

After resting for half an hour.

Su Xuan and the others began to ponder how to get out; they couldn't just be trapped here to die.

They spent some more time meticulously searching the stone chamber once again but found no hidden mechanisms.

Looking at the tightly sealed cave entrance, Su Xuan's brow furrowed slightly.

It seemed they would have to dig their way out...

Recalling the winding passage they had entered through, Su Xuan estimated it twisted and turned for at least several hundred meters.

He could only confirm he was near the center of Mount Song's mass.

In other words, no matter which direction they went, they wouldn't be able to leave this place in a very short time.

Digging in the wrong direction could waste a lot of time, or they might hit a fragile part of the mountain, causing a collapse...

That Old Monk really *****...

Only after mentally cursing the Old Monk a few hundred times did Su Xuan feel slightly relieved.

Then, looking at the blocked cave entrance, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Since that was the case, they would simply dig back along this passage!

Thinking this, the xuantian sword dropped into his hand.

Su Xuan circulated his Cultivation Technique, unified his stance, gathered all his Internal Energy and physical strength onto the xuantian sword, and with a throwing motion, violently hurled the sword forward.

"Bang—"

With a loud noise, the xuantian sword, enveloped in terrifying Internal Energy, smashed fiercely into the rocks blocking the cave entrance.

"Boom—"

The rocks shattered with the impact, creating a tremendous sound.

The young nuns and Dongfang Bai, who were still searching for mechanisms behind him, all turned to look.

A huge rock had broken into fragments, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

As the dust settled, Dongfang Bai came to Su Xuan's side, somewhat puzzled, "Little Su, what are you..."

Su Xuan wiped his nose. "Since there's no other way out, we'll dig our own."

Hearing this, a flicker of surprise passed through Dongfang Bai's beautiful eyes. "You mean... we dig back along this passage?!"

"Mm." Su Xuan nodded, then waved his hand grandly. Many tools appeared on the ground.

Shovels, small carts, ropes...

All kinds of tools were present...

Although they had seen it once before, this ability to materialize objects out of thin air still amazed the young nuns.

"Yi Yu."

Hearing Su Xuan's voice, Yi Yu snapped out of her shock, hurried forward, and bowed slightly. "Sect Head."

"Distribute these tools." As he spoke, Su Xuan pointed to his recent 'masterpiece.' "Then clear away these broken rocks and dirt."

"Yes, Sect Head."

After the order was given, the group of young nuns busied themselves.

Shoveling dirt, moving rocks, pushing carts to dump them at the very back...

Although the Hengshan Sect had suffered heavy losses because of Shaolin, there were still several dozen young nuns left.

Handling this small task was well within their capabilities.

Su Xuan wasn't idle either. He directly pulled Dongfang Bai to a corner and sat down.

Looking at the calm and composed Su Xuan, Dongfang Bai was puzzled. "Little Su, aren't we going to help?"

Although there were many young nuns and they were working quickly, wouldn't adding two experts like them allow them to leave here even faster?

"Naturally, the two of us will help, but not now." A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Su Xuan's mouth.

Dongfang Bai didn't quite understand and felt a flicker of curiosity in her heart.

Seeing Dongfang Bai's expression, Su Xuan shook his head with a smile and decided not to hide it from her anymore. He took out a small jade vial containing longevity blood from his system space and handed it to Dongfang Bai. "Here, drink this."

Looking at the familiar small jade vial in her hand, Dongfang Bai curled her lip. "I'm not sick. I don't need medicine."

"Pfft—" Hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Su Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

Sensing Dongfang Bai's large hand already positioned at his waist, Su Xuan reined in his smile. "I never said this was medicine, did I?"

"Huh?" A flicker of confusion passed through Dongfang Bai's eyes.

If it wasn't medicine, why did he give it to that Abbess to drink earlier...

And that effect... returning to youth...

Su Xuan naturally knew what Dongfang Bai was thinking and didn't beat around the bush anymore. He smiled and said, "Drink it. All the women who marry into our Su family get a vial of this. This one is yours."

Hearing this, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Who said I'm going to be your wife?"

Despite her words, her actions were swift.

She directly opened the lid and drank it all in one go.

As soon as the longevity blood mixed with jade bee nectar entered her throat, Dongfang Bai felt a strong sweetness, followed by a faint hint of a bloody taste...

Before Dongfang Bai could wonder for long, she suddenly felt a surge of rich vitality welling up inside her.

It was like being wrapped in a cloud, so comfortable~

All the Impurities in her body seemed to vanish at this moment, so light~

Even the accumulated heat in her chest, which hadn't been dispersed these past few days, slowly dissipated a small portion...

Dongfang Bai narrowed her beautiful eyes, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

Did she also achieve a Breakthrough?

Half-Step Celestial Being...

Accompanying this was Dongfang Bai's appearance, which also returned to her youngest and most beautiful state.

However, there was now an added touch of maturity and an authoritative air between her brows. She looked fairer, more radiant...

Time flowed slowly by. Suddenly, Dongfang Bai opened her beautiful eyes, her lovely pupils filled with pleasant surprise. "Little Su, I achieved a Breakthrough! Half-Step Celestial Being..."

Halfway through her sentence, Dongfang Bai suddenly noticed Su Xuan's somewhat heated gaze and paused slightly. "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing Dongfang Bai's voice, Su Xuan snapped back to reality and smiled. "It's nothing. You're very beautiful. I like it."

"Who cares if you like it?" Dongfang Bai murmured, her pretty face flushed. "By the way, what exactly did you give me to drink just now? How could it have such miraculous effects?"

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "Marry me, and I'll tell you!"

Seeing Su Xuan's cheeky look, Dongfang Bai twitched her lips and punched him with her small fist. "I don't want to know anymore!"

Seeing Dongfang Bai turn to leave, Su Xuan quickly pulled her back. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you! Next, I'm going to practice my Cultivation Technique. You guard me!"

Practice Cultivation Technique?

Dongfang Bai was puzzled. Why practice Cultivation Technique now?

But seeing Su Xuan's serious expression, Dongfang Bai still nodded.

Su Xuan put away his smile and took out many martial arts Secret Manuals from his system space.

He had emptied Shaolin Temple's Scripture Pavilion. These were the ones he had just filtered out as 'presentable.'

Both his Profound Sword Art and Profound Art could undergo Fusion upgrades.

Rather than digging now, why not see if he could further improve his strength first.

Once his strength increased, breaking rocks and moving earth would be faster, allowing them to dig through the passage more quickly...

Besides, his Profound Art seemed to only need one more foundational cultivation technique to Breakthrough to the World-Suppressing level...

What kind of improvement could a World-Suppressing Cultivation Method bring...

Seeing Su Xuan's serious demeanor, a flicker of surprise passed through Dongfang Bai's beautiful eyes.

Was this scoundrel really going to practice Cultivation Technique...
